Absolutely lovely reminders. Especially the part about how people aren't thinking about what we think they are. So much time is wasted trying to be everything to everyone. Love your honesty and the beautiful reminders of the journey of being human.

Somehow your words are always so timely, and adjacent to what I'm thinking about at the moment. They just arrive at the right time, what I needed to read this week

Your Human Stuff today hit so many notes, it's hard to reply to it all :-). However, the 20th point kinda summed it up for me:

"Letting yourself be witnessed is worth releasing the walls you’ve built. Letting yourself learn new ways of finding safety without needing to keep everyone at arms length is worth the risk in doing so."

I'm startled into understanding the Value here: The more I let others see who I truly am, the more powerful I become. This helps me re-define what "power" means to me when it is positive, constructive, and bigger than myself. Imagine us all really showing up, and all of us wanting each other to really show up. That has power in it... explosive in a transformative way, for individuals and for all humanity.

Thank you for sparking transformative "explosions" :-)

“Sometimes, desire is enough of a reason.” My whole belly just relaxed reading that one. 💕

Love those roadside friends. Also: really relate to “it’s not childish to…” Joy is for everyone, yes? 🌹

This post I’ve had it opened all day and just kept coming back to it for the reminders. So much potency in this message. I felt the hug through the words and also the permission slip to show up. Thank you for sharing this piece with us. 📖
